If anything, passing the Turing test would be a necessary condition, but never a sufficient one.

We are on Lemmy, so it's mostly still save to assume the first case

I actually liked the joke too

Oh I've never heard of such a setup. But that does muddy the lines a bit, I can see the argument for calling it part of firmware then.

You silly, it's not a finger fryer!

Maybe they just don't like Jira and hope you will go away if they don't engage with your process.

Firmware is one step before.

BIOS, UEFI, coreboot, or whatever weird code runs on a Raspberry Pi's GPU to load your system, those are firmwares.

The firmware is what starts your bootloader; grub, BOOTMGR, u-boot, etc

Also the kernel makes those variable immutable by default now

More specifically it has done that for the last 8 years :-D

In A UEFI World, "rm -rf /" Can Brick Your System

efivars are made read only by the kernel. That firmware bug (!) was worked around in the kernel years ago.

Another language is also another code, just like another dialect would be. And switching to it for lack of vocabulary is one frequent reason for code switching. Adjusting for the audience is not the only reason for code switching.

On the contempt specifically? All I remember for sure at the moment was that Judge Lewis Liman will now draw adverse inference from the missing information. For example from the incomplete list of doctors, i.e. he will assume none of them are in Florida, and therefore there is less proof that Giuliani lives in that big house down in Florida. If that big house is found not to be his primary residence it will be handed over to Freeman and Moss. (Any secondary residences are fair game. Giuliani would prefer to hand over his New York residence apparently. So I hope he loses the one in Florida instead.)

That's one of the things he's dragging out. They are arguing about which is his real primary residency at the moment, because he would lose any other than his prime residency. He was arguing it was in Florida, but refused to produce the documents to prove it. (Asked for a list of his doctors, to see their locations he only provided last names, for example) and now Judge Lewis Liman has said enough, you're in contempt and that he will now assume none of those doctors are in Florida.

He's also "lost" the signed Jersey he was supposed to hand over. He gave them the car keys, but still not the title to it. And has not handed over his gold watch yet.

He's being maximum cunty about it.
